Default tires

i am currently running 325.60.20 on my '06 f-150 FX4. it has a 6inch pro comp lift with aftermarket rims. i am wondering why do some tires come measure like 35 and then some 325?? are 325.60.20 all i can run on my truck? my tires rub a lil in the corners so is there a slightly smaller tire i can go to? also i really dont get the two different measurments for tires please explain
i know that the 325 is the hieght the 60 is the width and the 20 is the rim size but i dont know why some are measured like that and others are measured like 35 sorry for the rambling

325 is the width in mm, and 60 is the aspect ratio of the sidewall to the width, so its 60 percent of the 325, then you take that and multiply it by 2 and at it your rim hieght and, its not hard just the conversion from mm to inchs trips people up, to answer your quaetion i beilieve they might make a 325/55/20 tire but youll have to look around
